[quote gmwahl]Holy cow that post brings back memories!
Last time I was there was about thirty years ago with my grandfather before he passed away. It was loaded with fat, 18-22" rainbows and we caught the heck out of them fishing a double renegade behind a full sinking bubble.
The creek right below mill meadow was awesome as well and I caught lots of BIG brookies and browns from there.
I really miss that lake sometimes.

I remember when there use to be some large brookies in Forsyth too. The reservoir no longer is stocked with rainbows and was treated to remove yellow perch that were illegally planted in 2011 or 2012.[:/] It has since been stocked with tiger trout and splake and the last couple of years, cutthroats. The DWR stocks about twice as many tigers as splake.
The splake have been hard to come by for me and I have tried to target them with very little success.
I'm sure your method of the fly behind a full bubble would still work today for the tigers.
The stream below Mill Meadow still has some browns but no brookies that I know of. Mill Meadow has also been fishing good this year for browns and rainbows.
Forsyth is a nice quiet place and with Mill Meadow and the Thousand Lake Mountain lakes close by you have lots of options if you don't find fish in one place, it's not far to the next one.[
